The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Outstanding film with memorable performances by many cast members
This is a truly memorable motion picture and Mel Gibson deserves to be congratulated for a job well done. There are several outstanding performances among the many fine actors in this film including Jim Caviezel as Jesus, Rosalinda Celentano as Satan, Fabio Sartor as Abenader, and last but certainly not least, Bulgarian actor, Hristo Shopov, who is my personal favorite. Shopov not only skillfully portrays Pontius Pilate as a stern Roman governor, but also reveals a tender, vulnerable side to his character as well. I will admit that this is a difficult motion picture to watch. However, it is movie making at its best,and deserves to be viewed by both the religious and the not so religious BRAVO!!!
Vchera (1988)
Vchera is a 10!!!
Thanks mainly to the superb acting of many members of the cast, especially that of Bulgaria's secret weapon, Hristo Shopov, "Vchera" ranks high among the world's film classics. Unfortunately, Shopov's acting ability and fine, expressive face have been hidden for too long from true connoisseurs of dramatic acting. Let us hope that his flawles performance as Pontius Pilate in Mel Gibson's amazing and inspiring film "The Passion of the Christ" will earn him much deserved recognition and honors, and will bring him a bounty of great motion picture roles which he so richly deserves. What a tragedy it would be if he were to slip back into obscurity inside Bulgaria. BRAVO, Mr. Shopov!!!
